<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\niGuzzini: lighting that honors the artist\u2019s vision<\/h3>\n\n
As early as the late 1400s, Michelangelo paid special attention to light, shaping the marble surfaces so that even the flame of a candle could enhance the sculpture. With the new project, iGuzzini, together with lighting designers Guido Bianchi and Nicoletta Rossi, brings a light to the Piet\u00e0 that respects the artist\u2019s intentions while improving its visibility and security. <\/p>\n\n
Technological innovation: Sipario, iGuzzini\u2019s new projector<\/h3>\n\n
At the heart of the new lighting system is iGuzzini\u2019s Sipario<\/em> projector, a device designed specifically for museums and artwork lighting. With patented Opti Beam Reflector<\/em> optics, the projector delivers a precise and uniform beam of light, highlighting every detail of the sculpture. The result is lighting that enhances the Piet\u00e0, bringing out the most subtle nuances of the marble and making every angle of the sculpture visible in its fullness. <\/p>\n\n The adopted technological solution is designed to reduce consumption and improve efficiency while respecting the environment. The Sipario system<\/em> is made from recycled and recyclable materials and is easily disassembled for simplified maintenance. Its adaptability to different lighting needs allows for the creation of varying light scenarios, depending on requirements and events, thanks to control through the KNX system. <\/p>\n\n The new lighting system is divided into four lighting scenarios, each offering a different interpretation of the work. From the “sculptural” scenario, which emphasizes the plasticity of the marble with a balanced play of light and shadow, to the “cutting” scenario, which creates an emotional and impactful effect on the Piet\u00e0. Each scenario is designed to highlight particular details, such as the Virgin’s face or the Crucifix, offering a holistic perception that enhances both the spiritual and visual experience. <\/p>\n\n The new lighting not only makes the Piet\u00e0 even more captivating, but it also helps emphasize the theological and devotional elements of the work, making it understandable in its full depth. With this intervention, iGuzzini continues to demonstrate how technology and art can integrate to enhance the world\u2019s cultural heritage. <\/p>\n\n Ph: Matteo De Mayda<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" An innovative project brings new light to the iconic sculpture, enhancing every detail with sustainable technology and thoughtful design In preparation for the 2025 Jubilee, the Fabbrica di San Pietro has undertaken a series of restoration works to ensure the Piet\u00e0 by Michelangelo, one of the most admired treasures of St. Peter\u2019s Basilica, is visible […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":38357,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[328,333],"tags":[948,1067],"class_list":["post-38365","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-design","category-news","tag-featured","tag-light-design-en"],"yoast_head":"\n![\"iGuzzini](\"https:\/\/designdiffusion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/iGuzzini_PietaMichelangelo_phMatteoDeMayda_dic24_04-768x1024.jpg\")
